Elijah,
What is the semantic difference between setting _NET_WM_STATE_MINIMIZED and
setting the ICCCM property WM_STATE to IconicState? If there is none,
this does not look like a good idea.
Also, is there any semantic difference between "minimised" and "iconic"?
The former looks like poor terminology for X as the window size is unchanged.
I believe MS Windows really does shrink windows as well as hiding them when
they are "minimised". Occasionally the resulting runt windows are visible.
Thanks,
Giles
